CORSET-BUSK.

Specicaton of Letters Patent.

Application filed February 28,1907. Serial No. 359,924.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, NiooLAs DAMoN, a citizen of the French Republic, residing at Lyon, France, have invented a certain new and useful Corset-Brisk, of which the following is aspecication.

This invention has for its purpose, to render corsethusks easily detachable from the corset without changing anything in the construction thereof. This result is obtained by means of an enlargement oi the hem containing the husk, and of an accessory part for fixing the husk in the enlarged hem.

The annexed drawing illustrates hy way of example an embodiment of the invention.

Figure 1 shows the husk in position in the hem, a portion oi the fabric being broken away. Fig. 2 is a cross section on the line A-A of Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 a cross-section of the accessory part.

The hein a, for the husk b, is rather less than twice as wide as the husk itself, so .that the latter with the eyes c c can be introduced longitudinally into the hein the eyes being then caused to pass through openings iormed at the external edge of the hem. The accessory part d is then inserted to maintain the husk in position and fills the space not occupied by the husk in the hein. It consists of a flexible steel plate d, provided at intervals with lugs e adapted to engage the interior edge of the husk b. As shown the lugs e are bent so as to leave a space between their inner faces and the plate d thus forming a groove into which the husk fits. This plate is inserted into the groove hehind the husk, the precaution being taken that all the lugs e successively engage the husk. The parts then occupy the positions shown in Fig. l and the husk is perfectly secure the removal of the husk is effected hy reversing the operation. The other husk member to which the hooks are fixed is held in position in the same manner.

The accessory part used for the purpose described can he constructed in various ways. ln the construction shown in Fig. 3, for example, it comprises two plates f and g, held apart hy small distance-pieces 7L, so that a groove is formed in which the husk can slide.

What I claim as myA invention and desire to secure hy Letters Patent oi the United States is 1. In a corset the combination of a husk and a removable locking plate having a groove therein into which the edge of the busk fits. 1

2. In a corset the combination of a husk, a removable locking plate and lugs projecting therefrom and forming a groove therewith adapted to receive the rear edge ot' the husk.

In witness whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
